Each set of Top 25 and Top 25 rising expires after 30 days, and will be accompanied by a rolling five-year window of historical data for each country and region across the globe, where data is available. This Google dataset is hosted in Google BigQuery as part of Google Cloud's Datasets solution and is included in BigQuery's 1TB/mo of free tier processing. This means that each user receives 1TB of free BigQuery processing every month, which can be used to run queries on this public dataset.

As of March 2025, Google represented 79.1 percent of the global online search engine market on desktop devices. Despite being much ahead of its competitors, this represents the lowest share ever recorded by the search engine in these devices for over two decades. Meanwhile, its long-time competitor Bing accounted for 12.21 percent, as tools like Yahoo and Yandex held shares of over 2.9 percent each. Google and the global search market Ever since the introduction of Google Search in 1997, the company has dominated the search engine market, while the shares of all other tools has been rather lopsided. The majority of Google revenues are generated through advertising. Its parent corporation, Alphabet, was one of the biggest internet companies worldwide as of 2024, with a market capitalization of 2.02 trillion U.S. dollars. The company has also expanded its services to mail, productivity tools, enterprise products, mobile devices, and other ventures. As a result, Google earned one of the highest tech company revenues in 2024 with roughly 348.16 billion U.S. dollars. Search engine usage in different countries Google is the most frequently used search engine worldwide. But in some countries, its alternatives are leading or competing with it to some extent. As of the last quarter of 2023, more than 63 percent of internet users in Russia used Yandex, whereas Google users represented little over 33 percent. Meanwhile, Baidu was the most used search engine in China, despite a strong decrease in the percentage of internet users in the country accessing it. In other countries, like Japan and Mexico, people tend to use Yahoo along with Google. By the end of 2024, nearly half of the respondents in Japan said that they had used Yahoo in the past four weeks. In the same year, over 21 percent of users in Mexico said they used Yahoo.

Background: Alongside the COVID-19 pandemic, government authorities around the world have had to face a growing infodemic capable of causing serious damages to public health and economy. In this context, the use of infoveillance tools has become a primary necessity.Objective: The aim of this study is to test the reliability of a widely used infoveillance tool which is Google Trends. In particular, the paper focuses on the analysis of relative search volumes (RSVs) quantifying their dependence on the day they are collected.Methods: RSVs of the query coronavirus + covid during February 1—December 4, 2020 (period 1), and February 20—May 18, 2020 (period 2), were collected daily by Google Trends from December 8 to 27, 2020. The survey covered Italian regions and cities, and countries and cities worldwide. The search category was set to all categories. Each dataset was analyzed to observe any dependencies of RSVs from the day they were gathered. To do this, by calling i the country, region, or city under investigation and j the day its RSV was collected, a Gaussian distribution Xi=X(σi,x¯i) was used to represent the trend of daily variations of xij=RSVsij. When a missing value was revealed (anomaly), the affected country, region or city was excluded from the analysis. When the anomalies exceeded 20% of the sample size, the whole sample was excluded from the statistical analysis. Pearson and Spearman correlations between RSVs and the number of COVID-19 cases were calculated day by day thus to highlight any variations related to the day RSVs were collected. Welch’s t-test was used to assess the statistical significance of the differences between the average RSVs of the various countries, regions, or cities of a given dataset. Two RSVs were considered statistical confident when t

Also in the United Kingdom, the game gained in popularity, with most players using the app every day.

Context

For a project of mine, I wanted to use Google Trends data to predict the stock market. However, over large timespans, only monthly data is provided, so I had to use this data—together with the daily and weekly data from smaller timespans—to create daily and weekly data over the large timespan. I have created a script for this purpose, and thought I would share the data from 98 financial keywords.

In each file there are only two columns; "date" and "adjusted". "date" is obviously the date. "adjusted" is the adjusted data, derived from the monthly and weekly data — in the case of the daily data.

As of February 2025, several search terms were googled especially actively by German internet users. Among these, the leading three were ‘handball wm’ (handball championship), ‘australian open 2025’ and ‘handball wm 2025’. The terms reflect events, certain dates and ensuing media coverage taking place at the time, in this case about the handball championship and the Australian Open tennis tournament. Always searching Daily life seems unthinkable without using an online search engine, whether for longer research or quickly checking something, or even just to avoid setting bookmarks, typing in URLs. Google has by far the highest share among online search engines used on desktop and mobile devices at almost 90 percent of searches done on Google, followed by Bing and Ecosia. While DuckDuckGo was further down on the list, its market share has been rising in Germany. Google may still have a substantial head start compared to its competitors, but users are increasingly apprehensive about data privacy and protection in connection with how the online search giant uses and stores personal information, as well as tracks search queries. Searching for Trees Ecosia is an environmentally friendly search engine with a unique business model that sets it apart from other search engines. It uses the revenue from search ads to plant trees worldwide and support reforestation projects. Every time a user performs a search on Ecosia, they indirectly contribute to reforestation, as one tree is planted for every 45 searches.The search engine market share held by Ecosia has been growing in recent years, especially in Germany where the company is based, and in other countries in Europe. Ecosia, similarly to other alternative search engines (e.g. DuckDuckGo), uses Bing to power its results.
